Things I really don't need right now

Apparently, there are school holidays here at the moment. How do I know?

All afternoon yesterday, a group of teenagers ran up to the house, rang my bell, and ran away again (which is not only annoying, but also stupid, because if they had stayed in the entrance, I would not have seen who it was, but by running away, they made themselves instantly visible). In case I looked out of the window when they were sneaking towards the door, they would stop, made faces (and the occasional wanking gesture) and run away giggling.

They stopped around dinnertime.

Today, somebody apparently introduced them to water balloons, and the idea of trying to hit an open window with it.

( Here is the result )

I think they can count themselves lucky that I am not the hitting kind, because right now, I would smack seven sorts of snot out of them.


Thank you everyone for your kind words on my post of yesterday. The funeral is on Wednesday, which means that given RyanAir's flight schedule I will have to fly there tomorrow and can only come back on Friday (the one flight sooner is on Wednesday); also, given RyanAir's policy, they are charging a pretty penny.

Which means I have to pack tonight, and hit Marks tomorrow morning. So what am I doing online, again?

ID or no ID

I panicked a little about two hours ago because I could't find my ID card.

Luckily, I found it; it had slipped between two books.

Now going to eat a tub of Ben&Jerry's chocolate-based ice cream and watch Sherlock. I think I deserve it.
